by TIE Rev. DIR. William Tappert, of Covington, Ky.
There were about $40 delegates present and all tho
available room the floor and in the spacious
gallery was occupied by people who came to witness the
proceedings. President Spannhorst, Of Detroit, made
an address Of greeting the delegates He claimed that
the attitude OF the German Catholics toward other
tonalties had been msrepresentcd and false reports
circulated In his opinion the German Catholics recog
nized no distinction OF natonaes. On the questions
at issue between the Irish and the German Catholics the
cnurch alone had authority to decide The Germans III
America were Obliged " preserve the German language
In their schools On account OF that they had been
reproached with trying to Germanize America Tat
charge was unjust Mr. spannhorst denied the truth OF
the report that he said that they would insist

hetsch or st. Paul, introduced q resolution attacking
.he knights OF Labor anu urging that they DO refused
membership In Catholic soceties He claimed that the
knights OF Labor had demoralizng influence upon tho
Gc-inan wOrkinsnen. He failed to any difference

WORMS AND STEEL RAILS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
SIR The story about the worm that eats steel rails Is
hoax pure and simple. Furthermore the story lacks
originality. few years ago similar worm was re-
ported he consuming of richest and
teusiye coal beds Your correspondents understanding
OF the distinction between organic and inorganic chem
isry IL fully nfty years behind the age Organic chem
isry Is simply the chemistry OF the carbon compounds
Many OF these compounds have been reproduced IN the
laboratory SO the discovery Of organism capable or
converting Inorganic substances into organic would not
be sufficient to overthrow the classification.
